How to make a referral to the appropriate genetics clinic

You may have received a Best Practice Advisory (BPA) in PennChart about referring your patient to a genetics clinic or ordering genetic testing. This BPA should link you to the appropriate genetics clinic. If you did not receive a BPA, see below for a list of available genetics programs at Penn.

Each program has a phone number for patients or providers to contact. You can also place a consult in PennChart as noted below.
